________________
traits of cruelty, passion and lethargy may be awakened, in his temperament
Mentality plays an important role in every human's life. If you want your child to be the lord of a satvik, healthy life, you have to gift him a righteous mentality. He should not feel jealousy upon seeing someone's progress, nor should selfcentredness and selfishness eat his heart up, or criticism, gossip and base talk become the indulgence of his life. Every parent must remember that he nurtures his child with a view to help him develop a royal and rich temperament and endow him with large heartedness.
Even after death, parents are still alive in the child's temperament. It's truely said: “the fruits are akin to their trees and children are akin to their parents".
